Thu, 26 Mar 2015 19:38:37 +0000http://primarysourcenexus.org/?p=8066#comment-117497This lesson was used with all 8th grade students in the time opposite of their PARCC testing time slot. Teachers from all disciplines implemented this lesson. These students recently returned from a class trip to Springfield and, perhaps because of this, the conversations reached deeper levels than I remember from past groups of students. Lincoln’s painting sparked significant and deep conversation about the black vs. white struggle during his time. The checkerboard floor was hypothesized to represent black and white working together like the tiles on the floor working together. Thanks for the great resources!

Wed, 11 Feb 2015 12:56:01 +0000http://primarysourcenexus.org/?p=16151#comment-107520I often struggle to find primary sources on difficult topics simply because of the terms used. Currently, my students are reading Of Mice and Men, and we are looking for information on treatment of mentally ill from the 1930s. While not politically correct, the term used then is retarded but even so, finding information has been very difficult. Do you have suggestions on locating items that would be appropriate for 9th grade students?

Thank you,
Shirley LeClerc
